I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but I seem to have abolished ballpoint pens entirely from my life. I find them so scratchy and horrible to use, I shudder to even jot down a phone message with them.
Lately, I've come across some entirely irresistible ballpoint art. I find these works so awe inspiring, it makes me regret my foolhardy rejection of the ol' ballpoint pen. Perhaps it's time to give the felt tips a break?

ReplyDeleteI think it may have been architecture school?! I distinctly remember 5 years ago a lecturer telling us to throw out our ballpoints.
